“The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.”

FOOD
​Eating healthy food is essential for maintaining good physical health. It can help us maintain a healthy weight, prevent chronic diseases, lower inflammation and much more. By consuming a diet rich in nutrients, we can reduce the risk of developing health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
​
I have worked with hundreds of individuals who have seen many different doctors and specialists, googled their symptoms and felt overwhelmed just to find out that they are right back where they started if not worse. I want you to know that YOU can heal. YOU can lose weight. YOU can have more energy, better sleep and feel like you again. Giving your body what it needs is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.
​
Delicious, healthy foods nourish your body, mind and soul. You have one life to live. Do this for you.

MOOD
Eating healthy food also has a huge impact on our mood and emotional well-being. Consuming a balanced and nutritious diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can help to regulate our body's hormones and neurotransmitters, which are responsible for regulating our mood, energy levels, and stress response.
Research has shown that people who eat a healthy diet are less likely to experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. In contrast, a diet that is high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can lead to inflammation, oxidative stress, and other physiological changes that can negatively impact our mental health. By making a conscious effort to eat a healthy and balanced diet, we can improve our physical health, our mood, increase our energy levels, and enhance our overall quality of life.
A MUST WATCH! This 2024 Mel Robbin's Podcast where she interviews Dr. Chris Palmer is so incredible and speaks about how your diet can totally affect your mental health.
Dr. Palmer is the founder and director of the recently launched Metabolic & Mental Health Program at Harvard’s McLean Hospital, the #1 psychiatric hospital in the nation, where has been practicing for almost 30 years.
He talks about how your diet is making your brain misfire and how simple lifestyle changes will not only improve your physical health but your mental health too.
MIND
Who do you think
you are? You always screw up!
"You shouldn't have
said that!
No wonder no one likes you!"
"You won'tlose weight!
You always fail
at everyting!"
"You'll never be happy!
It's all your fault!"​
Do you ever notice the conversation that's constantly going on in your head? You know, that critical voice that is always judging every little thing you do and say? It's so automatic that most people aren't even aware of these harsh words they say to themselves all day and night.
​
The first step is being aware of how you speak to yourself. These sabotaging voices are formed in our early childhood. They start off as Protectors that helped us survive emotionally and physically in our childhood. Even if you didn't have a difficult childhood, life still
presented us with many challenges that developed these Sabotager parts inside of you to handle these challenges. There are different types of Sabotagers:
​
​
​
​
-
Controller
-
Judge
-
Victim
-
People-Pleaser
-
Avoider
-
High-Achiever
-
Tyrant
-
Hyper-Vigilant
By the time we are adults, these Protectors aren't needed anymore but they have become such an ingrained part of how we talk/to and think about ourselves. We see everything through the lens of these parts that were initially developed to protect us, but are now really sabotaging our success, relationships, dreams, goals, etc.
​
When we are faced with challenges and stressful situations, these parts of ourselves are activated and we fall right back into the self-sabotaging negative behaviors that we learned in our childhood and teen years.
​
The great news is that you will learn how to intercept these Sabotagers the moment they try to take over your thoughts, feelings and actions through Mental Fitness Training.
